What would be needed to make that statement true ?

Nothing. Truth is relative when it comes to belief and statements made from belief. As long as one has no experience of God or God as the creator, God does not exist and there was no creation.

This God to which you refer, would have to be something in order to refer to it. Otherwise you are referring to an imagined straw man of which you have no experience, and would wish to have someone define for you an example to which you could measure your own imagined God.

If it is documented it is not theory but documentation of events. You might be assuming it is theory based on an analysis or argument against your own ideas of understanding of the universe and its manifestation, and continuing existence.

Atheists on the other hand reject this.
Anyone who is against circular thinking or reasoning will reject this idea as documented fact whether religious or not.

Something to reject based on circular reasoning?

In doing so, Religious people now HAVE to produce the evidence to prove their claim.

How does science prove a theory is more than theory? Will we produce evidence to support theory or reality?

That would be one conclusion. Science does not necessarily tend to believe that without proof there is no reality, but rather an absence of evidence based on parameters of ideals and boundaries of knowledge and experience... Unless science has become a religion and searches for evidence of theory on faith.(Something I believe is not so far from truth)

Definitions of God would have to be established as well as understanding of God and what divine means in relationship to God as stated in the Bible. So far we are measuring religious and scientific terms. Neither may be within the realm of the original terms of which were presented at the time of those who spoke of God or divinity as they are documented.

What do think of this challenge to produce actual evidence ?

It'd be like children discussing surgery after watching a documentary on the history of medicine.
